City procedure, national building blocks

Amsterdam’s page is useful for its City Office process and document examples. Other municipalities can use different appointment systems or ask for different evidence.

Translation and legalisation

Original foreign certificates may need legalisation and translation. Ask Amsterdam or NetherlandsWorldwide before travelling with documents that are not in an accepted language.
